Well here is another day! The weekend has been fairly well so far... with one exception! I have yet to get used to the fact that I am supposed to be blogging EVERY day. This being said - I missed blogging yesterday. Sigh.  Guess all I can do is go forward from today and do my best and hope that missing one blog won't mess up my grade to bad. I am so agitated with myself. I go back to feeling like I have WAY TOO MUCH on my plate right now. We had a great family night last night as we enjoyed the fireworks display and activities in our hometown. The kids had so much fun; the 3 youngest did pony rides, some got their faces painted, and others jumped in the bouncy houses. It was just fun hanging out with my family, my best friend, and her family. I did have one REALLY scary incident thought. Our 10-year-old daughter went missing after dark. She was supposed to be sitting with a friend and her mother. The mother comes up to me at 10pm and asks me if my daughter is with me! Talk about panic mode... I went to the police immediately and reported all of her information. They said they couldn't make any announcements until after the fireworks were over but they would dispatch it to all of the officers. Fortunately, about 10 minutes later she showed up at our location. I don't think I have ever been so scared in my life. Have you ever lost sight of a child? Needless to say, she will not be away from me for a long time. My frustration is so unbelievable with this mother. I do understand that children "wonder" a little but how to you just all of the sudden realize a child is missing!? I have so much homework to get down and I still have a discussion board post to do. This assignment is really difficult for me for some reason. Posting on a reading from my Power of Language book. I know I can do this; I just need to get away from all of the distractions. I also had a great opportunity today to meet some extended family that I have never met. It fascinates me to learn about my family history and to try and put the pieces of "puzzle" together. Guess it's about time for me to start focusing on my other assignment, so that I can post an intelligent and meaning discussion board post.
